We report here the successful multi-model treatment of a 31-year-old female demonstrating a primitive neuroectodermal tumor originating in the lower lobe of the right lung with gross extension into the left atrium via the inferior pulmonary vein. The tumor was markedly reduced by combination chemotherapy consisting of vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and ifosfamide. The residual tumor was completely removed through a combined left atrial resection and right middle and lower lobectomy, using a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support system.

There was a good correlation between the volume measured with 3D-EUS and the volume obtained using tissue characterization. The tissue characterization volumes were only relatively slightly larger than the volumes measured using 3D-EUS, suggesting that there may be some promise for this application of tissue characterization.
